Milos Poseidon

  a wonderful experience - small boat for maximum 12 passengers, ideal for private travel,the 2 Andreas that make up the crew were wonderful - extremely friendly and helpful - they... read more managed to make us a beautiful day - lunch was fished in front of us , they gave us more time where we wished even if that meant going beyond their program. & thanks Poseideon team!

  Chartered “Poseidon” as a family with our skipper, captain Andreas!
Sailed from picturesque “Pollonia” in the morning, we spent the day touring the southern part of Milos, visiting spectacular... read more beaches, most known the magical one, called “Kleftiko”!!
Captain Andreas was a great companion and host making continuously sure that we have everything, from a tasty breakfast to a gourmet-style “fruit de mer” lunch (fresh shrimps, pasta dishes), cooled white wine, etc!!
A relaxing and enjoyable day, the best way to explore Milos and see beaches that you can’t reach from land!!!
Highly recommended!!

  The trip with with the boat was awesome. We made the tour around Polyaigos and visited the best parts of the island. The waters were so clear, i could see... read more the bottom. We swam with the fish and saw sea turtles. We saw caves and beaches i have never seen on another island.
The captain, Andreas was kind, funny and a great cook. He served us traditional delicacies and the best fish soup I have ever eaten. The meal was served onboard in a breath tanking cove at the southern part of Polyaigos. The whole experience was amazing. I will definitely take the tour again.

  The cruise is an all day one starting from Paliochori Beach in the morning. We had a stop for a bath at least of 30 minutes in Tsigrado Beach, Gerontas... read more Beach, Kleftiko Beach and Gerakas Beach. He made us to visit some caves along the path too. The captain sailed along the south coast trying to make us to see all wonderful water along the coast: he is very expert because he is a fisherman in Milos during the wintertime. We had a very long stop in Kleftiko Beach where he offered a delicious lunch composed of salads and pasta with fish. It's offering you all drinks for free anytime you would like, not only during the lunch: juices, beer, coke, water and so on. The captain is VERY kind and funny, the boat is small so there are few tourists on board so the enviroment is very familiar. You can freely ask everything you need at the captain and he'll make the best to satisfy! The money is VERY well spent! I advice to sail with him because you will not be able to forget easily this "familiar-cruise"! …

  If you want to feel the real greek ambience this is the right choice. The boat crew makes you feel the beauty of their sea and land. They make you... read more feel part of the family as well, always being attentive with us, smiling always and make sure we feel good. The places they took us were just unbelievably precious and unforgettable. The captain is a really Poseidon! And the fished cooked there on the boat was the icing on the cake!
Thank you very much Andreas, Andreas and Marios! You are special people.

  In Milos there are places you can visit only by sea. One example is Kleftiko, one of the 10 best beaches in Europe according to Conde Nast Traveller and Tripadvisor;... read more some say it’s among the best beaches in the world. While choosing a boat tour in Milos you’re faced with 3 main options: 1) sailing boat (catamaran or monohull) which -despite the name- will take you there on engine (not sails), cost around 50-70€ per passenger, total of 20 onboard, 2) a super fast and sleek RIB, cost of 1200-1400€ per 8 hour ride of up to 8-10 persons, and 3) Poseidon, a traditional fishing boat, for a total cost of 400€ for the same 8 hour tour, capacity up to 8 persons. Choice #1 you need to account for another 15-20 strangers on the boat, not quite the beat choice for the covid-conscious. A party of 8, two 4-member families, we opted for option 3 mainly due to the tranquility/privacy it’d offer (just the 8 of us), pricing and availability. On the day before departing Captain offered us choice of lunch, either kakavia (fish soup) from freshly-netted fish (we would have casted the nets ourselves in the morning) or home-made shrimp pasta, we opted for the second. We didn’t regret the choice of the specific tour one bit. Captain Andreas took us on a relaxed low-pace trip from Pollonia all the way south and we toured the whole south cost of Milos. We made three stops for swimming, 1st was a translucent white-pebble beach close to the old sulfur mines, after which we were treated to ladenias (local oil bruschetta-like dish with cheese onion and peppers), 2nd was unexpectedly stunning Gerontas (black thin glittering sand beach with a natural arch on one side, castaway stuff) and ultimately Kleftiko, where we anchored , swam in the caves and enjoyed lunch with a magnificent shrimp pasta dish prepared by our captain on-the-spot. All drinks and wine on the house. On our way back we took a last dive just before arriving to Pollonia. We had an unforgettable time and we were treated with great hospitality and friendliness. We would recommend Poseidon, Andreas and the tour without any objection. …

  We had a wonderful time. We appreciated a schedule change to avoid bad weather as we were really excited about the trip. It was just the two of us and... read more one family, so it felt very relaxed and private, unlike a party boat. We do recommend avoiding bringing small children. As others have said, the crew were very happy and helpful, and also flexible around our requests. The pace was relaxed but never dull, and we had plenty of stops for sightseeing and swimming. Fresh fish for lunch at sea is unforgettable. Overall a fantastic way to spend a day and see Milos, and it was also very reasonably priced. Absolutely recommend you do this while you stay in Milos!

  First of all, Poliegos is the best isle among Milos, Kimolos and Poliegos itself so you must cruise there if you're visiting Kimolos or Milos. It is absolutely one of... read more the best isle in Greece.
The cruise is an all day one starting from Pollonia Beach in the morning. We had a stop for a bath at least of 30 minutes in Kato Mersini Beach, Galazia Nera Beach (Blue Bay), another beach in the south coast where we had lunch and finally in another beach in the north coast of Poliegos. He made us to visit some caves along the path too. The captain sailed along the coast trying to make us to see all wonderful water along the coast: he is very expert because he is a fisherman in Milos during the wintertime. We were luckly because the wind, waves, sea and weather so we succedeed to go around completely in Poliegos. We visited also Epano Mersini Beach (Mersine Beach) and Ammoura Beach where is the lighthouse.
We had a very long lunch stop where he offered a delicious lunch composed of salads and pasta with fish. It's offering you all drinks for free anytime you would like, not only during the lunch: juices, beer, coke, water and so on.

  If you visit Milos you should definitely go to Polonia and do the 'Milos Poseidon Boat Experience'. By far the best day we had on the island.
Apart from the... read more fact that price is great, you will also notice that captain Andreas is going over and above to ensure that he provides the best service possible to have an amazing experience! Highly recommended! A 'must do' thing when visiting Milos.

  We had an amazing time on the boat, there was enough space for all of us and the boat was nice and comfortabele.

  This was a fantastic day on a fishing boat, led by a great captain Andreas, who was capable and friendly.
First we watched as they pulled in the net, filled... read more with (delicious) fish we would later eat. Other very tasty Greek snacks were also provided.
Followed by a tour of multiple islands, including the most amazing deserted beach.
We are very happy we chose to go out with Poseideon! We highly recommend.

  We spent one full day with Andreas and Marios discovering the islands around Pollonia and loved it! The fishing experience at the beginning of the trip, the incredible food, the... read more amazing spots for swimming and the very attentionate service all made this the highlight of our stay in Milos, for adults as well as for children.

  Andreas was a perfect guide and great cook too. We saw Poliegos for the first time and were totally amazed. After swimming in the most incredible places, we had the... read more perfect lunch, prepared by Andreas. We very much recommend his tours!

  Totally recommended!!
I had the pleasure to make the boat trip around polyaigos with them. We saw stunning beaches as we have never seen before. Moreover, the captain and Andreas... read more were always looking after us and they were super nice. The fish was taken and cooked in front of us so more fresh than an ice cream. The food cooked was super tasty. Unbeatable experience. Regards from Spain and Italy.

  Having spent most of our time exploring the island via ATV (quad) and scooter we decided to set sail with Captain Andreas and Pedros (who were great!).

The... read more boat is small and there were only 7 of us on board (inc. crew) but it made the trip far more interesting than if you were on a boat of 40+.

We visited 4 secluded parts of the island (that you can only access via boat) which were beautiful and, because of the pebbles/small rock beaches/coves, the water is so clean and transparent.

True to their word food was served up and alcoholic/non-alcoholic drinks were provided (Andreas makes a mean spaghetti and shrimp pasta!).

Thanks for the trip boys!! Here’s a few photos ;)

  My wife and I travel many Greek Islands and always take boat tours. This by far was the best we ever did. This is for a several reasons. 1) It's... read more a small boat so only a few other tourists will be with you on the boat, no party boat chaos. 2) The crew were happy, helpful and made us feel very welcome. 3) The route the boat takes is excellent, and many stops for swimming. 4) The atmosphere was never rushed. 5) The experience of seeing fisherman at work, and being able to participate in the experience was fantastic. 6) Actually eating the fish that you catch that day. 7) The price - very reasonable considering everything is provided and the meal is excellent.

Some tips - 1) During the summer the winds can make the sea a little rough. My advice is call Andreas to discuss when the boat will go to Polyegos because this is the tour you must do to have the best experience from Pollonia. 2) As the boat is a fishing boat there is not much storage, so pack lightly for the trip, take just the basics (a towel and sun lotion is basically all you need). 3) Again it's a working fishing boat, so I do not recommend very young children for this trip. Ages 10 or over would be fine.

Many thanks to Andreas, Andreas and Marios. It was brilliant. If you remember my wife was the opera singer who sang while she was putting the nets in the water :)
